On November 23, 1912, the Rouse Simmons, also known as "The Christmas Tree Ship", a schooner hauling trees for the Chicago Christmas tree market, was lost with all hands while under sail in a storm north of Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The shipwreck lies upright in 165 ft. at the bottom of Lake Michigan.

What-A-Do Theatre in Battle Creek Mi. is putting on a production of "The Christmas Schooner". Last show is 12/17/2011. We have had a lot of fun with it and feel the importance of the work.

No bodies or any bones. This wreck happened a very long time ago and the lake claimed all of those aboard. I created the song in the Mac application Garageband.

That is way cool. I had the opportunity of meeting John Chatterton at a speaking engagement he had here in Holland, Michigan. It was very, very cool. I even got my picture taken with him.
